CombBLAS causes multiple definition of GlobalMT and ThreadBuffLenForBinning in SuperLU-Dist #20
Description
CombBLAS provides BipartiteMatchings as an Application. But SuperLU-Dist uses CombBLAS's BipartiteMatchings ApproxWeightPerfectMatching.h and BPMaximalMatching.h when built with CombBLAS support (c2cpp_GetHWPM.cpp).
CombBLAS uses a handful of global definitions in these headers. This means that when linked in a library the way SuperLU-Dist uses, these definitions are exposed and triggered a multiple definition error, e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=superlu-dist&arch=s390x&ver=8.1.2%2Bdfsg1-1%2Bb2&stamp=1691085601&raw=0

The problem was previously raised for SuperLU-Dist at xiaoyeli/superlu_dist#40 and xiaoyeli/superlu_dist#60 . In Issue#60 a patch was suggested for CombBLAS 1.6 used by GNU at https://github.com/guix-mirror/guix/blob/master/gnu/packages/patches/combinatorial-blas-awpm.patch
Some elements of this patch have now been applied in CombBLAS 2.0.0. The "../" path to CombBLAS.h is fixed and t1Comp definitions removed. But other parts of the patch still need to be applied, as shown by the error message above. GlobalMT needs to be moved to a local definition and ThreadBuffLenForBinning needs to be inlined.
A debian version of the patch is https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/combblas/-/blob/master/debian/patches/AWPM_library_38dd27e.patch
